In an ordinary man's house in the capital, it is luxuriously furnished and warm. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info seems to be no different from ordinary people, but there is a group of unusual people living in the house.

Dumb, who had washed up, stood quietly behind Xiao Wu (Xiao Yu), and a group of men dressed as ordinary people in the capital, including Xia Cheng, sat around half of the side hall, everyone looked solemn, listening to the latest news that Xiao Yu brought back from Qingzhou.

Most of the people in the house are from Nan Chen, although they followed Xiao Yu into Qingfeng Village as a bandit in the early years, they are most concerned about the current war in Nan Chen.

What Xiao Wulang and Xiao Yu, the fifth masters of Qingfeng Village, said was the latest news from the Nanchen front.

"Dayan has already broken through Xiling. The two cities to the south were the last line of defense of the capital of the Southern Formation, and the generals who defended the city were the most brave and good at fighting in Nanchen and the most loyal to the Xiao family. Nan Chen prepared enough grain and grass in the two cities, and the soldiers and civilians in the city worked together to actively prepare for the war, and the prince personally went to the front line to supervise the war. The rapid momentum of Dayan's southward movement was temporarily stopped. ”

A man in the crowd spoke, and said with a gloomy face: "However, the prospects are not optimistic. I don't think it will last more than half a year. ”

Xia Cheng sat on the side and didn't speak. Nan Chen's affairs, as a native of the Great Song Dynasty, he basically did not participate in the opinions. But as a brother, he cares about Xiao Wu's master.

Someone spoke one after another: "I know that the prince is indecisive, and I am afraid that it will not be much of a big deal for him to come to supervise the war at the moment of the great enemy." "If it can be replaced by Xiao Ting, the third prince, the disadvantage will not be so obvious. Not to mention being beaten to Xiling in a row! "That's right! The three princes were decisive in killing, and they were able to fight well, if it wasn't for the early dismissal of the military power by the crown prince, why would Nan Chen have lost so badly all the way! "The three princes can fight well, but they are just a martial artist, how can they compare to the courage and resourcefulness of our five masters!" If the Nanchen royal family couldn't afford to coax inside, and the prince's party left some leeway for their own people to do things back then, and didn't do anything wrong, if their brothers joined forces, we Nanchen wouldn't be afraid of Dayan! ”

Xiao Yu got up and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said with a frown: "It's useless to mention old things. It is still time to focus on the current situation. Since you also think that the third prince can fight better than the crown prince, we should find a way to get him back to preside over the battle as soon as possible. ”

The previous Han was still saying: "The three princes should not have come to the Great Song Dynasty, they were expecting to come to ask for reinforcements, but this is good, they were framed by the Nanchen people to spy on the military situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and they couldn't ask for help, the matter was not investigated clearly, and even the three princes couldn't get out for a while." How else to say that the third prince is a martial artist? As soon as he entered the Great Song Dynasty, we sent him a letter to persuade him to go back and prepare for the war, but he didn't listen, what was the result, right?! ”

Seeing Xiao Yu's cold face, someone said carefully: "The third prince is not disobedient. Nan Chen is now the eldest prince, and the emperor listens to the prince. The crown prince appointed the three princes to envoy the Great Song Dynasty, and it was to move the rescue troops, can the three princes not come. Now let's listen to what the fifth brother says. ”

Everyone stopped, and their eyes turned to Xiao Yu.

Xia Cheng said in a timely manner: "Yes, the fifth brother returned to Qingzhou this time to find new evidence of Da Yan's collusion with Song Xiang in private. As long as it is proved that Da Yan has ill intentions, Da Song will not sit idly by and ignore you Nan Chen. Looking back at Xiao Yu, "Tell me quickly, did you find it?" ”

Xiao Wu shook his head, "According to the news from the brothers in the village, it is said that Dayan's people pretended to be traders and brought new tokens from Qingzhou. I don't want someone in the village to notify Jiang Zongjin, and the Qingzhou government is also secretly targeting the group of vendors. As a result, when the group of Dayan people was arrested in Qingzhou, the officials and bandits fought in a scuffle・・・・・・"

"The Great Swallow ran away?" Dumbfounded, he interrupted Xiao Yu with a voice.

Xiao Yu had a wry smile on his face, "I heard that it wasn't that I slipped away, but that a group of unidentified bandits took advantage of the melee between officials and bandits to kidnap the Dayan people." ”

At this time, even Xia Cheng was surprised, "How can you say that it is a bandit?" Couldn't it be Dayan's own people who saved people? ”

"It's not Dayan. I went back a day late and didn't make it in time for the scuffle. However, according to the people present at the time, the group of people who came were dressed in black and masked, and they couldn't tell which country they were. In the melee, he has always been concerned about the safety of the Dayan people disguised as traders. If it is Dayan's own people, if the news is leaked, they will send someone to send it again, and it is more likely that they will kill their own people for the sake of secrecy. They didn't want to hurt the Dayan vendors, but the Dayan traders were still useful to them. Xiao Yu said with a deep groan.

There was an uproar among the people, and someone shouted: "Since you are not an official and not a Dayan person, we are a big bandit in Qingzhou, where did the bandits come out?" ”

Xia Cheng said: "There is not only one force in the Qingzhou official mansion, not to mention that our Qingfeng Village is also very complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people from the Qin Mansion." ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Xiao Yu was still groaning, and only after a while did he say, "What is strange is that Jiang Zongjin, who is the general judge of Qingzhou, originally captured the bandits and did his job, and he used to do everything himself, but he was not at the scene of that scuffle. ”

"Do you doubt Jiang Zongjin? He is a member of the government, and he arrests people above board, so why should he disguise? Wouldn't it be too much! Xia Cheng was very unimpressed.

"Not necessarily. As you said, there is more than one force in the government, even you are suspicious of your brothers in the village, if Jiang Zongjin secretly has people from the Qin Mansion around him, he will do this to cover people's eyes and ears, and secretly raise people to be tried. Xiao Wu said.

"Then have you looked for Jiang Zongjin?" Someone among the Nanchen people spoke.

"Looked. Naturally, he didn't admit it. Even if he had the evidence, he wouldn't reveal it to us. Although they are all aimed at bringing down Prime Minister Qin, our positions are different, and he may not believe us. What's more, we're still a bunch of bandits. ”

"His grandmother's, isn't Jiang Zongjin afraid that the fifty-five boxes of stolen goods we put in his backyard will bring disaster to him?" Dumb voice.

Xiao Yu sighed, "Jiang Zongjin is a hard bone, I don't think he is afraid of our threat. I'm afraid that he is afraid that the evidence in his hand is insufficient, so he has not reported Qin Xiang for eight or nine years. Therefore, we can't push him too much. ”

"He's not in a hurry, but we Nan Chen can't wait. At the moment, it is important to save the three princes from Beijing. The third prince can fight, and once he goes back, he can stabilize the morale of the army more than the crown prince. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, turned around and looked at Xia Cheng, "Old ten, I asked you to save that treasure early, just waiting for this urgent need." As long as it is used to beat the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and let them say something good for Nan Chen in the court, there is no hope of sending troops, and it is still possible to release people. If necessary, you can even send a box to the Qin Mansion. ”

Xia Cheng glared, "Do you want to throw yourself into the net?" ”

"Hmph," Xiao Yu has become the bandit's five-leader style again, "If Qin Xiang was smart, he would think that we could evade the search under his nose, and then swagger back a box of treasure to demonstrate." With his suspicious nature, he will definitely think that we have colluded with the people in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not necessary to let us go. ”

A room full of people is Xiao Yu, waiting for the assignment.

Xia Cheng's task was to take two boxes of treasures from Qimei Village for later use. Xia Cheng went to Meizhuang to pick up the goods, but he was empty. The basement of the former granary was empty.

Xia Cheng was frightened all the way and rushed back to report to Xiao Wu. The group was dumbfounded.

Who else could there be besides Jiang Li who would let people empty the treasures?!
